Narrative
Please structure your proposal to provide the following information in the order indicated. Provide the narrative in
paragraph form in the text field provided. Please be thorough but strive for brevity.
1. Briefly describe the organization’s history, mission and goals.
Maricopa County Education Service Agency (MCESA), under the direction of the Maricopa County School
Superintendent, is dedicated to ensuring that all school-age children in the county graduate college- and
career-ready. MCESA builds alliance partnerships that provide leadership, services and programs in the
areas of Educational Innovation, Economic Management and Executive Leadership. MCESA serves 58
school districts, approximately 32,000 teachers, and 728,077 students.
2. If the applying organization is non-municipal or a non-profit 501c, please describe your relationship with Arizona
municipalities including past and present support, whether it be through partnerships, collaborations, in-kind
contributions, grants, tax-based funding or other. Describe the supporting municipality’s role in this project. If
the applying organization is a municipality governmental sub-division please enter the text “Not applicable.”
Not applicable
3. Describe the proposed project and planned goals and activities.
The proposed project is to provide basic technology for Student Learning for the Aguilla School District.
The district has ten (10) classrooms and teaches approximately 85 students.
4. Describe how the proposed project satisfies one or more of the priority funding areas identified by the Gila River
Indian Community.
The proposed project puts technology into the classroom for instruction to students where teachers do
not have the expertise to provide in such a remote area.
5. Identify the needs/problems to be addressed, target population and number of people to be served by the
project.
The proposed project is to place 10 television sets and 10 DVD players into each classroom. As
technology has changed over the years, VCR’s and televisions from the 1980’s have become obsolete. In
addition, teaching video’s have been updated; yet the school district is still attempting to use
methodology from the 1980’s to instruct pupils in today’s environment. The target population is the
approximately 85 students in the Aguilla School District and the 10 teachers that would be able to better
instruct their students.
6. Define the project as a new or continuing program.
New program

Grant Cycle 2017
7. Provide a brief timeline including start and finish dates. Indicate if the timeline is flexible.
Ideally, the timeline for placing the technology into the classrooms would begin June 2017 and be
completed in June 2017, prior to the start of the new school year. The timeline is flexible.
8. Identify other organizations, partners or funders participating in the project and their roles.
No other organizations, partners or funders are participating in this project. However, Direct TV offers
their educational channels at no cost to the school district which they currenly cannot receive with the
existing technology.
9. Would you be able to implement the proposed plan if your organization received partial funding for this project?
No we would not.
10. Describe your plan for project sustainability beyond the grant period. If this is a program/project previously
funded by the Gila River Indian Community describe efforts made towards the previously described
sustainability plan.
New Technology would last the school district at least the next 10 years.
11. Describe your plan to document progress and results.
This would be an immediate result. The result will be technology in the classroom that can be used to
improve student learning and accessability to current ciriculums and expertise.
12. Indicate any application to and/or awards made by a tribe other than the Gila River Indian Community for state
shared revenues for this and any other project for the past five (5) years. If this information is included in a
separate attachment, please indicate that here.
